EPECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 384,893, dated June 19, 1888 ed October 28, 1887. Serial No. 253,622. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.- Be it known that I, JAMEs Lynn, in the county sachnsetts, have inve 5 ful Improve which the iollowin the accompanying drawings,

My invention rclat ing out the soles of adapted especially of turned sewed slipper been done by hand; an novel feature and combination of pa i understood by' the drawings, after given.

To the under side of the slide H is pivoted the lever d, the inner end of which is pressed downward by means of the spring d, in order that when said slide has been moved to the front for the purpose of placing anew shoe upon the jack it may engage with the front edge of the table F. or F, to prevent said slide from being moved inward until it is so desired to do,when the spring (1 maybe compressed by pressing upon the outer arm of the elbowlever d pivoted to the front end of the slide H, all as shown in Fig. 3, thereby raising the inner end of the lever d and allowing it to enter the groove d of the table. (Shown in dot ted lines in said Fig. 3.) Each of the slides H is provided with a suitable handle, 01, by means of which the jack may be moved to a position beneath the mold I, or removed from that position when the ears 0 e on the rear end of each slide, by coming into contact with the 7 5 adjustable stops ff, will serve to prevent too reat a movement in an outward direction, while the flanges g g of the tables F F limit the movement of said slide in the opposite direction. To the cross-head E are secured the molds or dies I in such position as to be directly above the jacks when they are in their innermost position, said molds being fitted toa dovetailed slide in the under surface of the block L, and may be adjusted endwise therein in anywell-known manner.

The shoe-supporting jack H is preferably mountedupon a pivot at about the center of its length and provided with upwardly-press 9o ing springs upon each side of said pivot, substantially as shown and described in Letters Patent No. 367,927, granted to John Pray, August 9, 1887.

To the under side of each of the tables F and F is pivoted a toggle-link, M, the opposite end of which is pivoted to a second toggle-link, N, mounted in suitable bearings in the cross-head G and provided with the arm Each table F and F is provided with aslide,

N, to the outer end of which is pivoted the link N the lower end of which is provided with the box h, which embraces the crank 70 of the shaft 0, upon the outer end of which is mounted the gear which meshes with the pinion 0 upon the driving-shaft P, upon the opposite end of which is firmly secured the friction-wheel 1?, (see Fig. 2,) and loosely mounted the driving-pulley P. A brakewhcel, Q, is mounted upon' said shaft P,

IO against which the shoe Q, pivoted to the treadle-lever Q, is firmly pressed by the spring Q", connecting the treadle Q? and the tierod I), said treadle being firmly secured to the rocker-shaft R, mounted in bearings in the k side frames, A A, and having secured to the outer end thereof a forked lever, B, carrying a beveledroll, Z, which may he moved into contact with the hub of the loose pulleyP by depressing the treadle Q, thereby forcing said pulley into contact with the friction-wheel P, and thus set the machine in motion, the brakeshoc Q being released or withdrawn from contact with the wheel Q by the same movement of the treadle.

The crank-shaft O is made with two opposing cranks, k It, so that when motion is imparted to said shaft one pair of toggles will be straightened and the table F or F, connected thereto, will be forced into its highest position with the shoe upon its jack pressed firmlyinto contact with the die or mold I, located above said jack, while at the same time the second pair of toggles will be bent so that the other table will be in its lowest position, in which position the slide H with its jack may be readily withdrawn from beneath-its die or mold I, so that the shoe thereon may be removed and another placed upon thejaek and then slid back beneath its mold,when, if the treadle be again depressed, the new shoe will come into contact with its mold and be acted upon,while the pressure upon the other will be withdrawn and the table lowered, so that it in turn may be removed.

Between the cranks k it upon the shaft 0 is mounted the sleeve'like collarm, provided with the cam-surface m, which has two abrupt shoulders, m, opposite to each other, and this cam m acts upon the stop-lever m securely mounted upon the rocker-shaft R, to prevent the brake-shoe Q from engaging with the wheel Q, and to prevent the roll Z from being Withdrawn from contact with the hub of the loose pulley I when once the treadle Q has been depressed, until the, shoe upon the jack has been firmly pressed against the mold or die I, when the stop-arn1 hi will engage with one of the abutments m and prevent a further movement of the crank-shaft O, the loose pulley being released from the frictionwheel and the brake-shoe Q coming into contact with the wheel Q, and thus preventing any further motion being imparted to the machine until the treadle is again depressed, thus keeping the sole of the shoe under pressshoe is being taken from replaced by another.

are while the other the last or jack and It is obvious that as the mechanism has thus been described it would be impossible to stop the machine except when one or the other of the shoes upon the jacks was in contact with the mold or die I; but it is also obvious that at certain times it may be desirable to stop the machine at some other time in the revolution; and in order to accomplish this the shaft 0, between the cranks k k, is provided with a groove, n, with which a key, mfl projecting inward from the sleeve m, engages, so that said sleeve at will revolve with the shaft 0, while at the same time it maybe moved lengthwise in order to disengage the cam m from the stoplever m and thus allow the machine to be stopped at any point in the revolution of the crank-shaft O, the brakeshoe Q coming into contact with the wheel Q as soon as the foot is removed from the treadle, as is obvious. The sleeve m is provided with an annular groove, 0, with which the forked end of the arm 0 of the shifter-lever S, pivoted at 0 to the support S, engages, and by means of which said cam in may be moved into or out of engagement with the stop-arm mi.

The operation of the machine is obvious from the foregoing description, and therefore will not here be repeated.

WVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

1. A machine for beating out the soles of boots and shoes, provided with two jacks, two molds, and means, substantially-as described, having provision for automatically moving one jack in one direction while the other is being moved in the opposite direction, whereby the sole of the shoe upon one jack will be under pressure while the other jack will be in a convenient position for the removal of the shoe therefrom.

2.
